Wei Wuhou

Chapter 160 An Emergency Call
(Thank you for the monthly ticket support of the book friend "Forgotten Battle", thank you!!)
When Wei Wuji returned home and lay heavily on the bed, it was already afternoon.

From dawn to now, he drank a few sips of water, but he didn't eat a sip of rice.

"Huan'er... bring me some food!" Wei Wuji yelled weakly while lying on the bed.

He was indeed tired, from entering the east gate to sending Marquis Wei into the Forbidden City, his ears were almost deafened along the way.

Until now, Wei Wuji's ears seemed to be buzzing, which made him feel restless.

After hearing Wei Wuji's cry, Huan'er hurried over with a basin of cold water in her hand.

After pushing open the door, Huan'er walked up to Wei Wuji and carefully put down the water basin.

"My lord, wash your face first..." Huan'er said softly, compared to when she was in Gu Mansion, she is obviously much more cheerful now.

Although the identity of the maid has not changed, the difference in life before and after can be described as worlds apart.

Tan Ji didn't criticize him harshly, and she didn't get beaten and scolded by the stewards as before for minor mistakes.

Supported by Huan'er, Wei Wuji sat up slowly, smelling the girl's fragrance in his nose.

Then he didn't have to do anything, Huan'er consciously squeezed the towel dry, and gently wiped Wei Wuji's forehead.

Huan'er was petite, and when she was wiping, she would involuntarily rub against Wei Wuji, which aroused the evil in this guy's heart.

Then this guy started to be dishonest, and the movements of his hands started to come up, making Huan'er very awkward.

"My lord, please don't... Madam is just outside..." Huan'er blushed and explained in a low voice.

Wei Wuji didn't care about these things, but when Huan'er said this, he directly pressed everyone into his arms, and then raised his hands.

At this time, Tan Ji's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Huan'er, come out after washing his face!"

Wei Wuji could feel the anger in Tan Ji's voice, obviously dissatisfied with Wei Wuji's behavior.

After tidying up her clothes in a panic, Huan'er immediately got up from Wei Wuji's arms, then picked up the wooden basin, and walked out of the room.

Wei Wuji also stood up immediately and walked to the middle of the room.

As soon as Huan'er opened the door, she saw Tan Ji standing outside the door, staring at her coldly.

This frightened Huan'er, she had never seen Tan Ji have such an expression.

"Greetings, ma'am!" Huan'er said in a low voice, afraid of offending Tan Ji's anger.

"Go down quickly!" Tan Ji said coldly, just standing there.

After hearing this, Huan'er bowed to Tan Ji as if she was being pardoned, and retreated from the side.

At this time, Tan Ji's eyes fell on Wei Wuji, the son who made her worry.

Since returning from the battlefield, Tan Ji knows that her son has changed a lot, but what makes her dissatisfied is that he has also learned a lot of bad habits.

"You bastard, don't even look at what time it is, your father just came back, and you're so anxious..." Tan Ji stood at the door, yelling and cursing loudly.

Wei Wuji is in a hurry, Mom, if you want to scold me, then come inside and scold me, now that I'm yelling like this, where do I put my face here.

In front of Tan Ji, Wei Wuji had to maintain an obedient baby look, waiting for his mother to recover.

After saying a few more harsh words, Tan Ji stopped.

"Mother, are you thirsty! Come drink tea!" Wei Wuji laughed with him, and poured a cup of tea to Tan Ji.

This eased Tan Ji's stern face, and she looked at Wei Wuji with helplessness in her eyes.

"Mother, this is for your own good..." Tan Ji patted the folds of Wei Wuji's clothes, and said earnestly.

"My son knows!" Wei Wuji replied immediately.

But Wei Wuji also believes that this kind of thing will probably happen more and more in the future, because he still has many "bad habits".

"Did you see your father today?" Tan Ji said slowly.

Wei Wuji thought, isn't this nonsense?But he still replied honestly, "See you."

"Hmm..." Tan Ji nodded lightly, but didn't continue.

After a while, Tan Ji continued to ask, "How is he now? Is he injured?"

Nani?Wei Wuji's face became very exciting, what's going on, how can he still care about Daddy Cheap.

Is it true that the deeper the love, the deeper the hate; the deeper the hate, the deeper the love?Wei Wuji couldn't figure it out, he didn't have much experience in matters like feelings.

"It's okay, I didn't see any injuries." Wei Wuji pinched his nose and said, he was very confused about the relationship between the two.

Tan Ji didn't ask any more questions, but said to Wei Wuji, "You've been tired all day too, since you've washed up, go and eat something."

This is what a mother should look like, Wei Wuji thought to himself.

Then he followed behind Tan Ji and walked to the front hall. In the process, he was reprimanded for a while.

After finally getting to the front hall, Wei Wuji saw that Lan'er had already arranged the food and was waiting for his arrival.

Looking around, it is porridge and pickles or something.It's not because of being too poor, but because eating this is very refreshing in this hot summer.

Wei Wuji was not cautious, he just sat on it, picked up the bowl and started to work.

After a hungry meal, under the rumbling stomach, he didn't care about any image problems. Anyway, he was still a family, and there was nothing to see.

Looking at her son who completely disregarded her image, Tan Ji felt sad again. She even wondered if Wei Wuji became like this because she was incapable of raising her son.

…………

It was a joy to eat inside, but another group of people came outside the small courtyard.

Their clothes were very ordinary, and they rode horses and parked outside the gate of the small courtyard.

"Who are you!" The guards outside the door became alert and shouted in a low voice.

Immediately the knight did not speak, but the man stretched out his arm from his sleeve, facing the guards blocking the way.

Seeing this, the guards were shocked and immediately knelt down.

"Meet the envoy!" The guards said in unison.

But he saw that the person on the horse was holding a gold token in his hand, on which was engraved a unicorn with a magnificent horse, and the word "Hongyi" was engraved next to it.

This is the unique symbol of Marquis Wei, and the guards can recognize it naturally after being trained by the Zongzheng Mansion.

"Junling..." the man immediately screamed, making the guards confirm his identity even more.

"I'm waiting to hear the order..." The guards all touched their heads to the ground, showing utmost respect to the person in front of them.

The shrill voice continued, "Your Majesty has an order to tell Young Master Wuji to enter the palace to have an audience."

Then he heard the sharp voice and continued, "It's urgent, please hurry and ask the fifth son to come out."

"Follow the order..." the guards said in unison.

Afterwards, after consulting the eunuch in front of him, some guards came in to announce the decree.

…………

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Wei Wuji stood up, with a surprised expression on his face, "You mean, there are eunuchs outside to deliver the decree?"

"Yes, my lord!" The guard clasped his fists and replied.

"Okay, step back, I'll come out right away!" Wei Wuji waved his hand, indicating that the guard could step back.

After the guard left, Wei Wuji said to Tan Ji, "Mother, is this a custom?"

Tan Ji's face was heavy, and then she said in a low voice, "No, why did your majesty summon you at this time?"

Seeing that Tan Ji didn't know, Wei Wuji was even more at a loss. This kind of thing was obviously abnormal, and it could be seen from Tan Ji's face.

And when he went to welcome Wei Hou back today, Wei Wuji also found that his father was a little abnormal.

"Don't worry about it so much, you just go there!" Tan Ji said decisively, obviously she didn't think it was a bad thing.

Wei Wuji thought about it, and felt that it was unnecessary for him to think so much, because he had no right to choose at all.

"Well, that son is going..." Wei Wuji whispered.

Afterwards, he put on the court clothes that he wore for the first time during the day, and then walked outside the gate.
